The martial artists of the Upper Realm had never seen Zhenren Tonggu, but they had definitely heard of Zhenren Tonggu because he was a top martial artist above the Realm Hall.
Sun Mucheng had heard of him before.
But now, there was a black-clothed man who claimed to be Zhenren Tonggu. His first reaction was shock, and his second reaction was … this guy was probably a swindler!
Sun Mucheng said, "Do you think everyone will believe a random person who claims to be Senior Tonggu?"
"They won't."
Jun Changxiao said, "Because everyone has the right to doubt, so I won't explain. Whether you believe it or not, this old man has already shown you a clear path. Whether you can grasp it or not, it's up to you."
With that, he turned and left.
Whether it was bluffing or swindling, one could not be too hasty.
"Crazy."
Although Sun Mucheng said that, his heart was a little shaken.
Could it be that this mysterious old man was really Zhenren Tonggu? Impossible, impossible, he must be lying to me!
If it was an adult, they would definitely not take Gou Sheng's words to heart, but Sun Mucheng was only ten years old after all. He had not experienced too much of the sinister human heart, so when he went home and lay in bed, he would always inadvertently think of it.
The next day.
He woke up early as usual, washed up, and went to school.
On the way, he heard people talking about what had happened at Feng Qi Celestial Mountain in the past few days, so he leaned over and smiled. "Second Uncle, can you tell me about it?"
"Hey, kid, why are you suddenly in the mood to listen to gossip?" The man called Second Uncle joked.
Sun Mucheng said, "Cultivating every day is really boring, so I want to know more about the outside world to broaden my horizons."
"Not bad, not bad."
Second Uncle nodded. "On the path of martial arts, you should strike a balance between work and rest. Come, Second Uncle will tell you about the big things that have happened recently."
"Big things?"
Sun Mucheng pricked up his ears to listen.
When he learned that the vortex that appeared in the space earlier was a result of a mortal martial artist forcibly ascending and finally passing through the Formation of Heavenly Thunder of Ten Thousand Tribulations to land on Feng Qi Celestial Mountain, his little heart was instantly shaken.
He didn't know how powerful the Thunder Array was, but since it was set up by the Realm Hall, it must be very powerful. It was absolutely inconceivable that someone could force their way up!
"Second Uncle."
Sun Mucheng asked, "Who is it that's so powerful?"
"I don't know who it is." Second Uncle paused for a moment, and then said, "But I know that it wasn't a person who ascended to the higher realm, but a mountain!"
"A mountain?"
Sun Mucheng widened his eyes.
It was a rule that had existed for a long time for mortal creatures to ascend to the Upper Realm. But since when could something like Lian Shan, who didn't have any consciousness, also ascend?
"To be exact."
Second Uncle continued, "It wasn't a mountain that ascended, it was a sect!"
"Sect?"
Sun Mucheng was dumbfounded again.
Second Uncle said, "I heard that this sect is called the Sect of All Times. After coming out of the vortex, they settled down on Feng Qi Celestial Mountain. Not long ago, they even bullied the Sword Mystic Sect, Sharp Blade Mystic Sect, and other forces."
"Sect of All Times?"
Sun Mucheng suddenly remembered the guidance that the mysterious person had given him last night, so he thought to himself, "So there really is such a sect."
Second Uncle said in admiration, "To be able to break through the Formation of Heavenly Thunder of Ten Thousand Tribulations and defeat a few Mystic sects, this Sect of All Times that came from the mortal realm is not simple."
"…"
Sun Mucheng fell silent.
Second Uncle's strength might not be strong, but he had been traveling the higher realm for many years and had seen a lot. To be able to give such an evaluation of the Sect of All Times, perhaps he really was capable.
Jun Changxiao didn't know that the child that he couldn't even convince was gradually memorizing the name of the Sect of All Times from the words of passersby.
"Second Uncle!"
"I'm going to cultivate!"
After arriving at the school, Sun Mucheng shook his head and threw the things that he had heard to the back of his mind. He said firmly, "I'll be leaving for Lin Yuan City to participate in the Wu Tang assessment the day after tomorrow, I should focus more on cultivation."
…
In the wilderness.
Jun Changxiao continued on his journey with his two disciples.
Ye Xingchen, who had regained his spirits, was in much better spirits than yesterday, and his desire to become stronger was also stronger.
"Ah Niu, remember!"
Jun Changxiao said, "In this world, anyone can defeat you, but you can't be defeated by yourself. No matter what kind of setbacks you face in the future, you must stand up like a man!"
"…"
Ye Xingchen was speechless.
'Patriarch, are you saying that as if I wasn't a man in the past?'
"Of course."
Jun Changxiao said again, "After going to Lin Yuan City, you must keep a low profile, don't blindly stir up trouble."
Actually, even if he didn't say it, Ah Niu would keep a low profile, because the children in the town were already so strong, so the children in the city must be as strong as the sky.
…
A few days later.
The three of them entered the boundary of Lin Yuan City.
Walking on the spacious official road, they met children in their teens one after another, who were hurrying on their way under the guidance of martial masters.
Jun Changxiao had already inquired in Still Water Town that the Wu Tang examination would be held in the city soon, and the schools in the surrounding villages and towns would bring students to participate. If they passed in the end, their lives would be changed.
Logically speaking, there was no need to go to Lin Yuan City after buying so many medicinal herbs and seeds from the grocery store, but Gou Sheng still rushed over because he wanted to see what the so-called Wu Tang examination was like and how many geniuses there were.
The new main mission didn't set a limit on the number of people, so there was no need to forcibly recruit them.
But don't forget that whether a sect could flourish for a long time often depended on whether the younger generation could continue. And as the Patriarch, he couldn't just look at the present, but also look at the future.
It was difficult to be a man.
It was even more difficult to be a Patriarch.
…
Lin Yuan City was very big.
There were also a lot of permanent residents.
Even though the three of them were mentally prepared, when they stood on the main street that was big enough for dozens of carriages to walk side by side, they still felt like Granny Liu strolling through the Grand View Garden.
"Calm down, calm down."
Jun Changxiao took a deep breath and took the two disciples to find an inn to stay in first, and then went to the market square for a stroll.
But not long after he went in, he immediately walked out dejectedly because there were too many things sold there, and the prices were very expensive, giving him a feeling of 'I'm poor'.
"Sigh."
Back at the inn, Jun Changxiao sighed and said, "Let's wait for the Wu Tang examination to be held in seven days."
…
Seven days later.
In the eastern district of Lin Yuan City, a huge open-air venue that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people was already full of martial artists, who were looking forward to the start of the annual Wu Tang examination.
Jun Changxiao and the other two sat in the seats at the back, becoming spectators in the crowd.
Of course.
They must have spent money to get in.
The price was a little expensive, and an admission ticket cost a thousand magnetite.
The moment Jun Changxiao took out the money, every muscle in his body hurt.
"I can't believe that we have to spend money to get in this annual Wu Tang examination. I'll discuss it with Old Yuan when I go back. It can be used as a reference."
While muttering, students from the surrounding villages and towns walked into the venue one after another, including Zhang Mucheng from Still Water Town. His clear eyes flickered with excitement, but at the same time, he was a little nervous.
"It's this guy!"
Ye Xingchen clenched his fists, but there was no anger in his heart. Who could he blame for being inferior?
This examination was in charge of Wu Tang's senior management. After briefly bragging about their glorious history, they officially entered the main topic, which was the aptitude and physique assessment, and then the actual combat assessment.
The so-called actual combat assessment was to divide hundreds of students into several groups, and then choose their opponents by drawing lots. They would fight all the way to the end, and then be reviewed and approved by the review team to become a member of Wu Tang.
After understanding the rules, Jun Changxiao was speechless. "What's the difference between this and a martial arts competition in the mortal world?"
"The examination officially begins!"
Under the orders of the Wu Tang's senior management, the intense and exciting examination began.
Sun Mucheng was very outstanding in the aptitude and physique assessment, and then the actual combat assessment followed. He defeated all his opponents and successfully entered the finals.
"Patriarch."
Xiao Ziji said, "The kid who defeated Brother Ye will take first place in Group A without any suspense."
"…"
Ye Xingchen was about to cry.
[Can you not bring me into this when you talk about him? This is a huge blow to my self-esteem that I just built up!]
"Ah Niu."
Jun Changxiao said, "It's not shameful for you to lose to him."
"…"
Ye Xingchen held his head and cried in his heart, "Can this matter be overturned!"
However, when the finals of Group A began, Sun Mucheng, who originally had the absolute advantage, was repeatedly stopped by the referee. After fighting for an hour, he was actually defeated.
"What a pity."
"It can't be helped. His opponent is too strong."
"There should be hope for next year."
The spectating martial artists all shook their heads and sighed.
Jun Changxiao's expression became interesting, and then he roared in his heart, "Is this because his opponent is too strong? There's clearly something shady going on! "
